CBS Detroit - The wait is almost over as Chik-fil-A's newest location in Northville Township has set an opening date.

According to Hometown Life, Justin Lurk, who is Chik-fil-A's principal development leader told the Livonia City Council that the Northville restaurant is planned to open on January 28. Lurk said the new location should hopefully give customers a break from the long lines at the Novi location.
